12 Summer 2020 Makeup Trends You'll Want to Copy Right Now

If you aren't leaving your house for the majority of summer 2020 but you still want to look somewhat put together for those Zoom meetings and virtual happy hours, you're going to love this easy makeup trend. All you need is a dewy skin tint, a lightweight brow gel, a black or brown mascara, and a warm blush (tinted lip balm and brown eyeliner are optional—but encouraged!). Trust: The combo will have you looking fresh and glowy in five minutes flat.

Even if your summer 2020 plans aren't quite what you expected, that doesn't mean you need to retire your eyeshadow palettes until further notice. Pastel lids (think: lavender, pink, or yellow) are a great way to add a little something to your everyday look—just use your fingertips to tap on your favorite color and follow with a coat or two of mascara (or not—there aren't any rules with this one).

I get it: Going full throttle with your makeup feels kinda dumb in the summer (especially if you sweat as much as me). That's why I'm especially obsessed with this simple and wearable trend for summer 2020. It's all about thin, graphic lines, and it pairs super well with a lightweight foundation and lip gloss.

Yup, it's officially time to kick aside your red lip—at least until the fall, k?—because summer 2020 is all about bright, watermelon-pink lipstick. BTW: Setting powder or spray is definitely a nonnegotiable with this trend, and you'll get bonus points for throwing in subtle pink accents throughout your look, like eyeshadow, cheekbones, the works.

If graphic eyeliner is a little out of your comfort zone (no shade), you'll love how subtle this summer 2020 makeup trend is. All you'll need is a black pencil eyeliner (something thick and smudgy), which you'll draw along your outer corners for a cool and modern cat eye.

The best thing about this summer 2020 makeup trend is that it doesn't require any brow pencils or powders. Instead, brush up your brows with a tinted brow gel (I'm a fan of Glossier Boy Brow and Benefit Gimme Brow, both of which are super light and non-flaky).

Good news for my fellow sweaters: Pink blush is a big one for summer 2020, so don't trip if your face is already naturally flushed. Throw a couple swipes of powder blush on top of your foundation for a soft and pretty look that's super easy to build on.

Leave it to Gigi Hadid to make a summer 2020 makeup trend look so damn effortless. Take the graphic eyeliner trend one step further and opt for a white pencil and draw super-straight lines to mimic her look.

Like, yes, dewy skin isn't exactly unique to summer 2020, but there's no better time than warm-weather season to try out makeup looks that work with your sweat, right? If your skin is on the oilier side, try a powder highlighter instead of liquid (it'll keep your dew from settling into your foundation).

You know that untouched yellow eyeshadow in your favorite palette? Yeah, prepare to get a lot of use out of it for summer 2020. Yellow eyeshadow is a genius way to brighten up your eyes, and it looks great against a bare face or minimal makeup.

And if yellow isn't your thing, give peach eyeshadow a try instead. It's a bit lighter and more summery than your classic brown eyeshadow, and it's super fun to coordinate with your lip and highlight like so.

Soft, barely there makeup definitely isn't your only option for summer 2020 makeup trends. For those moments when you wanna take things to the next level, smudge a holographic cream eyeshadow (a highlighter works, too) all over your lids for a cute smokey eye.
